What happens if it is not a particularly nice entity and you can't come to an agreement? This is rare, but it
does happen. Then you need to get out your banishing tools and do a full-scale banishing ritual. I've
found the dark of the Moon to be the most useful for this. Read several banishment rituals, and come up
with your own from the inspiration. Use the strongest banishing incense and oil that you can come up
with. Call on your guardians and totems to come into the circle and help you. Cast your circle for your
entire home and property. Starting in the north, moving counterclockwise, perform the banishing. Make
sure you go into all cupboards, closets, nooks, crannies, crawl spaces, tool sheds, etc. Once the banishing
is done, start in the north again, and move clockwise throughout the entire space to seal it.
When the New Moon begins the next day, do the strongest protection ritual you can find and enforce it
every day until the Full Moon. You will need to re-cleanse and reseal the space every month. It won't
need to be as complicated a ritual, but it needs to be done.
Even in a banishing, however, treat the entity with respect. There doesn't need to be high drama
hocus-pocus, just firmness and clear intent. It is your home and you have the right to make it a safe,
magical place. Most spirits will respect and enjoy that. If not, it is now your space and you must secure it.
What about if and when you move? Cast another circle and invite the spirit(s) in. Explain why you have
to move and where you are going. Some spirits are bound to a place, and will stay where they are. Make
sure you take the time to bid them a respectful goodbye, and thank them for everything. Some spirits may
use this as a reason to continue their journey separate from you. Again, thank them and wish them well.
You can always reconnect at Samhain. Some may wish to go with you. Discuss it with them and come to
a mutual understanding.
When you move into a new place, preferably before your belongings arrive, take some time to get to
know any spirits that already reside there.
Include them in your cleansings and consecrations. Talk to them about their place in your life and
whether they should stay or go. Help them feel respected and real.
Work with spirits, respect them, and enjoy an unusual and fulfilling relationship unlike anything you
could share on Earth.

WEEKLY ASTROLOGY REPORT - Horoscopes for August 30th to September 5th, 2004
ARIES
This week's scenario is highlighted by your leadership skills to bring a stalled project to a done deal.
Bask in your share of the group's recognition when it comes and humbly accept your role in the success.
Your efforts will not go unnoticed and someone could make you an offer in the near future because of
your actions now. Celebrate with loved ones. Other's energies support your efforts at making changes,
especially those that will help you to let go of an unhealthy habit. You have the inner resources to go it
alone if necessary, but someone close to you could benefit from your example and encouragement. The
buddy system could strengthen your own resolve to conquer this habit and give your ideas about
replacement activities. Take it one day at a time.
TAURUS
